[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton *** Official Match Thread ***

[Tyrone Biggums]

He has also stopped jumping into people and giving cheap fouls and possession away

Probably because he's not best suited to being the lone striker so having another out there allows him more freedom and less responsibility.

Told my Liverpool fan friend we will beat them on the 12th.

Has he stopped laughing yet?

We are capable of a result against most of the big teams, but Liverpool's style makes them the worst for us to play against. I can't see us getting anything.

Good performance today.

For all those fixtures where we bemoan our bad luck... today lady luck was on our side.

On another day, the goal would have been disallowed, Everton's two attempts that hit the woodwork would have gone in, and Bernard would have finished his run with a top corner goal, and we would have lost 3-0.

... but it didn't.

Today was another demonstration of how brilliant the Dunk & Duffy partnership are. On days like today they're almost inpenetrable. We've missed them throughout the last few fixtures.

Luck maybe, but we're also a hugely resilient side who just do not allow teams to settle when they're "at" our goal. You have to earn goals at the Amex or be of the Eden Hazard class to open us up. And Montoya and Bernardo (especially) have improved the back four with pace and power.

Can't argue with that. I think it's pretty much the same for us against Man.City and Chelsea too. Any other top 6 sides, especially at home, we've got a chance.

Our luck has been so bad that now we've scored a goal that hasn't been incorrectly ruled out, our fans are calling us lucky!

Agreed. We wouldn't have let one in against Arsenal had Dunk been there. Another example of being unlucky, since he missed the game due to mistaken identity.

 

[Triggaaar]

Amazing what happens when we play with 2 strikers. The fans were right all along.

It is but Chris won't do so in the next match, purely because it's away

Eh? Who were our two strikers?

Not if he was at the Anfield match earlier this year. They were holding on at the end.

We can do it.

I hope you're right, but I'm a non-believer.

I'm not so sure we were lucky with the goal, I'm pretty sure the ref knew it wasn't offside as the ball clearly came off their defender but he had to talk to the linesman to explain why it was a goal. The linesman had also lowered his flag almost straight away as I think he realised.

No reason for it to disallowed, not lucky at all , good decision by the ref and the correct decision

Noticed that once Andone went off the Everton backline moved up to the halfway line as Murray bless him doesn't have the pace to worry them. It proves teams worry when faced by a mobile attack

Yeah, the ref was already starting to make his way over to the lino before our players had a chance to turn and remonstrate with him. It wasn't even close, there were only Everton players near the ball.

Got to feel sorry for Speedo Mick, that’s dedication for you !

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I’ve just got home and haven’t had a chance to read through all the threads.

Come own up, which of you has six fingers.

Dunk said, in his post match interview, when he approached the ref he told him not to worry as he was going to give it. Guess it was just the ref being courteous to the Lino.
